Kia Motors is set to electrify the automotive world with the unveiling of three new electric vehicles (EVs) at the upcoming Kia EV Day on February 27, 2025, at Tarraco Arena in Tarragona, Spain. This event marks a significant milestone in Kia’s journey toward sustainable mobility, showcasing the company’s commitment to expanding its electric lineup.
Kia EV4
The Korean carmaker unveiled the Kia EV4 a day back with no details explaining the features and specifications of the car. Leading this trio, EV4 was the highly anticipated, which will be available in both sedan and hatchback forms. This model is built on the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) with a 400V architecture, similar to its sibling, the EV3.
The EV4 is designed to cater to a diverse range of consumers, offering versatility and modern aesthetics. While specific details about its powertrain and features are yet to be disclosed, the EV4 is expected to embody Kia’s ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy, blending innovative technology with contemporary design elements.
Kia Concept EV2
The event will also feature the debut of the Kia Concept EV2, a pre-production prototype that offers a glimpse into Kia’s vision for an entry-level electric vehicle. Adhering to the ‘Opposites United’ design language, the EV2 is anticipated to serve as an all-electric counterpart to models like the Kia Syros.
Spy shots from South Korea have revealed test mules, indicating that the EV2 is well into its development phase. This compact EV aims to make electric driving accessible to a broader audience, combining efficiency with Kia’s signature style.
Kia PV5
Completing the lineup is the Kia PV5, a fully electric van that signifies Kia’s foray into purpose-built vehicles (PBVs). The PV5 boasts a neo-retro design, characterized by a boxy silhouette and distinctive lighting features that lend it a futuristic appeal, reminiscent of the Volkswagen ID. Buzz.
The teaser images reveal vertically oriented rectangular LED taillights and unique S-shaped LED headlights, setting the PV5 apart in the electric van segment. This model is poised to cater to commercial needs with a blend of practicality and cutting-edge design.A significant highlight of the event will be the introduction of Kia’s Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) architecture. This innovative platform is designed to underpin a variety of specialized vehicles, including the PV5.
The PBV architecture represents Kia’s strategic move to address emerging trends in urban mobility and commercial transportation, offering customizable solutions for businesses and consumers alike.
